Model overview
What is Seedance?
A video model family designed to turn creative direction into coherent motion.
Seedance is ByteDance's family of AI video generation models. The series began with a focus on prompt following, stable motion and native multi-shot storytelling, then expanded into synchronized audio-video generation and multimodal reference workflows.
Depending on the version, creators can guide a video with text, still images and other reference media. The goal is not simply to animate a frame, but to direct subjects, actions, camera movement, visual style and narrative flow with greater control.
Creative control
Why creators use Seedance

Model timeline
The evolution of Seedance
Each release extends the model family from visual generation toward richer, more controllable audio-visual production.
